Special Guest Instructor: Essdras M Suarez
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.
Come along with two-time Pulitzer Prize winner photographer Essdras M Suarez– a true believer in learning through understanding instead of memorization– on a journey of discovery. In this class, he will explain the ins and outs of Street Photography, while also dispelling the notion that this type of photography needs to occur on a street. Moreover, he will explain the psychological patterns involved in the brain when it comes to deciding what makes a photo a good photo.
He will take us on a journey of discovery as he explains the most basic examples of Street Photography, from a single static person to sophisticated, multi-layered, and complex street photo compositions full of decisive moments.
